Thanks for any help.
The Drum Experts Say.....
The Rogers 9/72 white label/badge was installed on Fullerton, CA built Rogers drums, then owned by CBS/Fender. Rogers historians, myself included!, have found out that this particular label/badge did indeed begin life in September of 1972, but was used in ALL Rogers drums built from then until almost TWO YEARS later! So...
One could conceivably have a drum set that is actuality a 1973 or even 1974, and still have the 9/72 label/badge. I guess CBS/Rogers figured "close enough for jazz" with regard to the use of the "dated" little white label/badge. Typically though, as has been said so many times: They were just building drums back then without a thought or notion as to what would happen 30 or 40 years later with regard to enthusiasts trying to date every little washer and fastener. It does make it interesting though, and the research is actually kind of fun!
